Say Hello to Getting Paid on the Fly

Everyone likes getting paid, and Harvest has a few features to help that happen fast—web invoices and online payments, to name a few.

Usually invoice payments through Harvest work great—if your client is on a computer. But what about your on-the-go clients who use their phone for more than Candy Crush? Ten percent of Harvest’s web invoice traffic comes from mobile—that means a lot of clients viewing a lot of invoices on their phones.

Previously that could be troublesome. Invoices didn’t look their best and, more importantly, you couldn’t pay them from your phone.

Even better, your clients can now pay their invoices straight from their phone. Just set up a payment gateway like Stripe or PayPal. Then your client simply taps the payment button to put money in your pocket.

I have a few suggestions for the mobile estimates:
1. Start mobile view (responsiveness) when the browser width reaches < 768px (tablet portrait and phone). Right now it snaps at 600px, which forces the user to horizontally scroll on tablet.
2. Change "Accept Estimate" and "Decline Estimate" to "Accept" and "Decline" when < 425px in width (just to be safe). Right now they stack on top of each other with no margin/spacing between the buttons.

Honestly, I love everything your team does, which is why I care to provide any feedback at all.

Danielle took the words right out of my mount. Would love to be able to create invoices or log payments for invoices from the mobile app. I’ve been wanting that feature since I signed up over 2 years ago.

This is a smaller request, but there used to be a link in the app to go to the full Harvest site (I forget how it was worded), which at least let me get to my invoices. The link has disappeared from the app, I notice, making it that much more inconvenient to (as Russ described) go login, zoom, squint, etc.

I’d like to second the invoices on mobile request ––– I LOVE you guys, and am excited for the fact that you’re always upgrading with new features. That being said…invoices for the mobile app have been a LONG time coming. Please tell your team that this is a wanted feature!

Hi! Like many others we are desperate to be able to create and edit invoices from our mobile phones as well as to mark invoices as paid! I love Harvest but am very strongly considering moving to a different service provider due to the pressing need to be able to invoice on the go. Thanks

Would love to be able to create invoices on mobile too….in a meeting with a client-create invoice and get it does right on the spot, out at the park and run into a business owner needing you…invoice on the spot and you just gained a new client! Hopefully this is in the works! Keep up the good work

I appreciate how simplified and purposeful the app is – it exists as a way to record hours and expenses, and little more.

That said, I’d LOVE to see a link to the web version of the site in the app. Sometimes when I’m on the road I need to view invoices, etc or perform other ‘management’ functions above and beyond those of a worker logging time.

JQ: Glad you’re liking Harvest! Also, that link to the web app is something we’ve got in our notes as a feature request. We don’t have plans to add it at the moment, but thanks for letting us know it’s something you’d like to see!
